Joint Commission redesigning Accreditation and Certification reports
Editor's Note
The Joint Commission announced November 1 that it is redesigning its Accreditation and Certification reports to be more user-friendly.
The redesigned reports will highlight the most relevant information about surveys and reviews, outcomes, and required follow-ups.
Additional changes include:
- removing unnecessary white space and repetitive text
- prioritizing and grouping findings by severity
- highlighting Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services condition- and standard-level findings
- offering report sorting and filtering.
The new format will be used for all surveys conducted after January 1, 2018.
